ATTEMPTED TRAIN WREcKlNG.
An 1s-Year- Old Boy Arrested In Wiscon-
sin on SUSPICION.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, March 2S.-During the
last few weeks three Wisconsin Central
trains have been thrown from the track
about four miles from here by unknown par
ties throwing the switch. Armed men have
been watching the switch night and day.
Friday the Chippewa Falls train was tagged
near Badger Mills by boy, who said he had
just seen two men putting logs and pieces Of
rails on the track. Charles Reismwifer, a
Chicago detective who had been
sent here to investigate these acci-
dents, was on the train and made q
search. Traces of distractions were
found, but no nIen were seen and the boy
was arrested ON suspicion of being at the
bottom Of all the accidents. His actions lead
to the belief that he is insane. He is about
il years old, small stature, says his name is
Eddie Bradley; that his stepmother lives in
New York; that his father resides in Ypsi-
lanta, Mich, and sent him to Minneapolis to
his brother James, from whom he ran away.
The boy is o most mysterious subject. In
package he carries with his clothes life-in-
surance policy was found, together with
twenty or thirty letters directed to Minneap--
oils young ladies, with a lock of hair in each,
and q will bequeathing all sorts of personal
effects to various young women.

THE BREECHEs BUOY.


heavy wind must have inevitably caused a
heavy loss of life With rs passengers still
on board, and crew of forty-five men, it
would have been impossible to save half Of
them with the facilities at hand.
At e o'clock Saturday morning two ad-
ditional barges of the Merit Coast Wreck
ing company arrived on the scene. They
were in tow of the steamer Rescue. The surf
at that hour was running rather high and an
attempt to get the bargeS and wrecKing
steamers alongside was successful The rev.
enue cutter Grant lay near the stranded yes
sci all night and continuously burned rockets
to show that she was near to render assist
ance if necessary. The passengers who were
not taken by the life-savers Friday passed q
miserable night, the majority re-
fusing to leave deck. The sailors
and officers bad no sleep and were COM
pletely exhausted. at 10 o'clock Saturday
morning the vessel was reported leaking at
the rate of an inch an hour but the steam
pumps were in constant operation. Shortly
after 10 o'clock the wrecking vessels sue
ceeded in getting some of the periShable
cargo into one of the barges and
in tow Of steamboat it was
taken into Fire Island inlet
None of the passengers were trans
ferred to the barges, the sea being too
choppy to permit it. The work of transfer
ring them by means of the breeches buoy
was resumed Saturday morning and many
have been brought ashore. Those in charge
of the wrecking vessels refused to take any
chances in the matter of getting the pas
sengers off by which life might be lost or in
juries sustained
The greatest excitement prevailed in this
vicinity Saturday morning. The shore was
crowded with people, the majority of whom
evidently came from Now York and
other points to meet their friends.
Many others came through curios-
ity. The excitement among the passengers
still on board the Scotia seems to have
abated somewhat. AS seen through tele-
scopes they present a forlorn and bedraggled
appearance.

Peculiar Divorce Case Resulting from u
Mistake of Person.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 2S.-A divorce
suit involving a well known family and pos.
sessing some peculiar features has just been
filed here. Several years ago Henry c. Nor
ton abandoned his wife, and she learned that
he had secured divorce in another state.
She employed an attorney to investigate the
matter, and the reported divorce was con-
frmed. After time she married wealthy
farmer named Klingcnsmith, and the two
were on the highway Ct happiness
when the wife learned that the
Henry e. Norton who had been divorced in
a neighboriug state was not in fact her hus-
band. Subsequent investigation proved that
this was true, and Mr. Klingensmith filed
suit for divorce. The case was to have been
passed upon next week, but Friday Norton
put in an appearance, fled general denial
to all the allegations, and says he will fight
the case. In the meantime Klingensmith
and his wife are living together, and will
seek to have the decree of divorce, which
will certainly be granted, so made as not to
necessitate remarriage.
